Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 try the Total Tonic and Echinacea tincture, make sure that you apply the 150 dosage rule (see file) for kids/babies. That should build up his immune system as well as handle whatever infection he has. What is he ingesting? love Lisa - Nikki herbal remedies Sunday, October 09, 2005 3:19 AM Herbal Remedies - 3 mos old baby problem my almost 4 mos old has had problems with a stuffy nose since he was a couple of weeks old.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 May we ask what you are feeding him?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 What are you feeding him? Could be a reason. The reason I asked that, my son had the same situtation at 6 months old. I had them put him on antibotics to try to get rid of the problem. Then shortly after the ear infection started, few months later the tube went in, in the same week I stop the Enfamel formula and he started regular milk and never had a ear problem again, no drainage etc. GinaNikki <athenadreamsia wrote: my almost 4 mos old has had problems with a stuffy nose since he was a couple of weeks old.

Fragrance oils are synthetic and cause more allergic reactions than most any other ingredient. Buying fragrance free is not a good idea, either. A synthetic ingredient is added to remove all signs of scent. Go for the natural cleaning products and body care products. Everything touching the body is absorbed through the skin and children are especially at risk. Read the labels. You will need a degree in chemistry. Make your own or buy them online. This is the trend and the market is flooded with them. I have a formula for making your own laundry soap. It works quit well. It may be a few days before I can post it, but I will if you are interested. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 This is what my aunt does when her twin babies had colds and such. She would run the shower and water in the bathroom to a steamy hot where you could see the seem in the whole room. Then she and my uncle would take the babies into the bathroom and hold them in the bathroom for like 15 minutes as long as there was steam. Usually this cleared up the stuffiness in the colds. My aunt is a mother of 11 so I know she knows what she is doing. Good luck to you and your baby.Nikki <athenadreamsia wrote: my almost 4 mos old has had problems with a stuffy nose since he was a couple of weeks old.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 you should never give regular milk (cow's milk) to children under the age of 2 years old. It is bad for their nervous system...It could be alergies , also the bottle can cause ear infections a cup is always better to use.. alot of times kids grow out of this my son did...Gina Kopera <ginakopera1 wrote: What are you feeding him?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi Nikki, I wouldn't give my son a commercial formula when he was a baby - I made my own. check: http://health.herbal remediesMembers%20Contributions/ and check the Baby Barley Formula. If you make sure the ingredients are organic, and sprout the Barley before boiling, you'll have the best possible formula your child could have!! And I've NEVER heard of any baby throwing this up!! love Lisa - Nikki herbal remedies Sunday, October 09, 2005 9:23 PM Re: Herbal Remedies - 3 mos old baby problem cody was throwing everything up so he was placed on soy formula. cody was 11 lbs 8.5 oz at birth. he wasnt sleeping well at all so i was told to add some rice cereal at night before bed. hell be 4 mos in 1 week.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I cant agree with you enough. This was 9 years ago. If I had to do it all over again, I would not do any of it. But that is what happened at the time. I can see the whole pattern now. It is interesting that you say it is bad for the whole nervous system, he was Dx with epilepsy a year ago.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I had the same problem with my baby. Hers was evidently caused by climate. when I moved from Western Washington to the sunny side of the state, it disappeared overnight. -Shelby herbal remedies [herbal remedies ]On Behalf Of NikkiSaturday, October 08, 2005 6:19 PMherbal remedies Subject: Herbal Remedies - 3 mos old baby problem my almost 4 mos old has had problems with a stuffy nose since he was a couple of weeks old.
